A quick guide to our favourite destinations in our Southeast Asia Travel Blog (we will update as we go along). This list follows our own interests and highlights our own style in travel. We travel independently as a couple, we generally avoid tourist and backpacker trails and we love to get lost in big cities although we do …

With 50,000 rewards points burning a hole in my Platinum Elite IHG rewards kitty, I thought I’d make the most of it during our recent return to Singapore. Being a reward, I thought I’d treat it as such, an added bonus to our normal travels and decide to go for an experience which I’d normally …
